The second method which was used by 26% of people was to sign up via a mobile phone contract and receive the console as an incentive.

Interestingly only 24 per cent admitted to paying full price for Sony’s console, while the remaining 17% of people were given the PS3 as a gift (14%) or won the console in a competition (3%).
